Full Day Hike – Mt Oksen

Experience one of the most breathtaking hikes in Norway on this full-day Fjord hiking tour up Mt. Oksen, taking you off the beaten path into the scenic mountains of Hardangerfjord. Beginning in Tjoflot, the trail winds through lush native forests before challenging you with a demanding ascent. As you climb above the tree line, the trail gradually opens up, revealing spectacular vistas that only grow more impressive with every step. At 1241 meters, the summit rewards you with a 360-degree panorama of four fjords—Samlafjorden, Sørfjorden, Eidfjorden, and Granvinsfjorden—along with sweeping views of the surrounding mountain ridges and Norway’s third-largest glacier, Folgefonna. This hike is physically demanding, climbing 990 meters from the starting point, and requires good fitness and appropriate footwear and clothing, but the remarkable scenery makes every step worthwhile.

The tour includes a professional guide and transport from Voss to Hardangerfjord and back, ensuring a seamless and safe adventure. After meeting at the Outdoor Base—conveniently located near the Voss Gondola, nearby hotels, and the train and bus station—you’ll receive safety instructions and then set off on the trail. A break for lunch allows you to relax and soak in the surroundings before completing the descent. Along the way, you may even spot reindeer grazing in their natural habitat. Running from July to October, this guided hiking experience is ideal for those seeking an unforgettable day in Norway’s dramatic fjord landscapes, offering adventure, exercise, and some of the most spectacular views the region has to offer.
